This might be a little long--but I need help so please read it..Thanks!
Well we just got to pick where we sit for lunch and we have to sit there all year. There's 6 other girls at my table, and like 3 are my good friends. Two of the other girls (besides my friends) that sit there are kind of shy, but nice, and I still talk to them. But the last girl..she is SO annoying. She just sat there when we chose tables, and some of the girls like her so they said 'okay' to her. Well we sit where everybody walks by us when they get their lunch and the girl I don't like is always yelling "HI..HI...HI!" to everybody, and it gets so annoying. Then she tries to take food from people when they are walking with their trays. If the people she says 'hi' to don't answer her or if they dont give her food, she slaps them. I mean, she's SO rude to everyone. I tried to tell her that it's not nice to slap people and try to take people's food..because it IS their lunch..THEY bought. She just tells me to shut up when I say something to her. I'm not gonna tell a teacher either because it's not a big deal. She just needs to learn manners and I don't know what to do. She's driving me crazy!! She thinks she's really cool, too, but not a lot of people like her. She has SUCH a big mouth! I just don't know how to deal with her---please help! thanks so much..

Also, don't gossip about her, this can cause more problems. There is a huge problem with us adolescents and gossiping. It's best just not to talk negatively about anyone, it can usually only make things worse. Of course, we all slip sometimes, but yeah, you should try to influence her for the better by example.
One thing you shouldn't do is lecture her though. People hate being lectured by other people their same age (and frankly, sometimes they should). You can't force someone to act a certain way.
Oh well, we all have to deal with this kind of stuff, wish we didn't...
Hope I helped, and I hope you have the strength to bear that situation.

For you I would ask a teacher to move her and if that dosn't work then do what she does mouth off to her and take her food, and be like you dont like it much do you, maybe shell stop (doutfull) I would still talk to a teacher even if you dont wanna it might get worse.

If other people, or your friends are noticing how rude and annoying this girl really is, talk with them and kind of make a plan; to do the same things she does to everyone else. Yell HI HI HI to her.. and try to take her food. See how she likes it. Then if she gets pissed off and approaches you, telling you to stop, you all can yell at her and tell her how annoying she's being, if you feel the need to, yell at her.. anything to get the point across. lol
